  5. I used to love watching these guys in Manhattan. I was wondering if this artist has a schedule of what streets he will be occupying when the weather in NYC warms back up again.

  8. What’s up with the product placements for Coke? Sort of cheapens it, don’t you think?

    Posted by Adam Smith | April 26, 2007, 10:53 am

  9. Maybe he’s secretly sponsored by Coke eh ;)

  17. OMG! Those are so sweet! To bad you use only chalk and they are not permanent. That would be an awesome thing to see when traveling.

    Keep up the excellent work. I will just drool. O,o

  18. I’ve seen this type of art before, and everyone that I have seen, I could look at for hours. They really are amazing the way way they achieve that 3-D effect. Must take a very talented and skilled artist to do this.

    Posted by Bruce | April 29, 2007, 11:19 am

  19. Wonderful!
    Can’t believe that all that 3d looking scene is on a flat surface

  20. talk about being in love with yourself…

    that guy appears in every one of those photos
    of his work.

    i doubt he has any other reasons for doing street
    art then to show off his abilities. good job jerk face!

  21. Right on! I liked the ones at the top the best - the coke bottle was gorgeous

    Posted by Abhilash | May 2, 2007, 4:08 am

  22. Absolutely incredible.

    Posted by Chris | May 2, 2007, 11:57 am

  23. amazing stuff. but the third one from the bottom is on another level! i want to see more like that, anyone know where? some of them (like the coke ones and the woman in the pool) seem like a bit of a waste of talent, but the aforementioned one is truly awe-inspiring, very escher inspired.

    Posted by Singh | May 7, 2007, 9:11 pm

  30. OK first off the coke thing lol is just that a coke thing that he likes to use.. nothing sinister i would think.. second he has to be in the pictures to give the view perspective and to make it more 3D.. that was just about the few people who had negative comments on this work lol cause other than that it was awesome!!! not many people can do what he/they do! :D

    Posted by Kris | May 8, 2007, 9:44 am

  31. This is the best chalk work i have EVER seen! Growing up in Vienna, Austria i have seen many chalk paintings, but never something so special, hope he will never stop creating new images

  32. so freakin awesome

    Posted by kenzi | May 9, 2007, 5:10 am

  33. gotta say well done - true genius

    to answer the guys here re the coke bottle well it worked for Andy Warhol with Cambells tin canned soup - them tins made him rich - imagine the sadness rain brings to this art though :(these pavements should be in an art gallery - i hear the entrance to the Tate Modern is pretty big and you should email them your portfolio ;) =) what about the Turner Prize - try it and apply you never know X) they are always looking for something different

  34. Hey Adam, not if you set out to draw a coke bottle. It actually is made better by appearing to be a coke bottle. Why not pick on Spidey man too… or Rembrandt…and I’ll bet he’s wearing Levis… “cheapens”- you have a strange interpretation of a really cool picture. …plus most of us think Coke is pretty cool

  73. R0botluv says
    “talk about being in love with yourself…

    that guy appears in every one of those photos

    The guy with the baseball cap and eyebrows appears in 7 out of 12 photos, a chap in a Tony Blair mask in one, and a couple (like the Dies Irae and the boat in the lake) don’t seem to have a prominent real person in at all (just bystanders).

    If I had done something this awesome, I’d be delighted to appear in the pictures people took of my art. If he’s *in* the picture, it means someone else must have taken it!

    And yes, it gives the extra perspective to appreciate the 3D art.

    Fantastic stuff!

    And thanks R0botluv, without your incorrect rant, I’d never have spent the time replying and saying how much I like this art :-)
